- Is the Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket warm enough for winter?
- Yes for typical cold city winters, thanks to the synthetic insulation and long cut. In deep or prolonged cold, most owners layer a sweater underneath.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs slim, so many buyers size up, especially through the shoulders and hips. Check Columbia's size chart rather than assuming your usual size.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The shell is water repellent, so it handles snow and light rain but not sustained downpours. A rain shell is the better choice for wet weather.
- How does it compare with the shorter Heavenly jacket?
- Same insulation and hood, but the long version covers the hips and thighs and adds more weight. Choose the long one for colder commutes, the short one for milder days.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes, on a cold, gentle cycle, then tumble dry low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid fabric softener, which can reduce the water repellency.
- Does it have pockets and thumbholes?
- Yes. It has zippered hand pockets and thumbhole cuffs that keep the sleeves down and hands warmer.
